About me

I joined Velindre as a Consultant in March 2011, following eight years training in Medical Oncology in Leeds and the Yorkshire region. I have a special interest in the treatment of Breast Cancer, in particular the systemic management of advanced disease. I have completed a PhD in 2011 focusing on the development of drugs to target a protein-protein interaction for treatment of acute leukaemia, (Prof T.H.Rabbitts, University of Leeds).
